Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the RBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bourne End?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bourne End before retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a loan on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bourne End.

The benefit of a local Bourne End conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must trump using an unknown Bourne End conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Bourne End based firm who is on the lender conveyancing panel. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?

In the event that you have not formally appointed a conveyancer to start work and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Bourne End that you're thinking of instructing.
